Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year! :)


Decorated tin can

Still making Christmas pressies? How about a really simple one? A decorated tin can....

Love the beautiful floral flocked paper (thanks Spardha!)....it wasn't big enough to go around the tin can so I added some felt....and made that "gap" a  design element. Added some lace, ribbon, handmade felt flower, and some upcycled Christmas ornaments. And I filled it up with loads of chocolates! :)

Just want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year! From the bottom of my grateful heart, thank you so much for your support in 2010 friends! I truly appreciate all the visits and encouraging comments. I'll be taking a bloggy break to "chillax" and work on some creative content for 2011. I have some surprises lined up and I can't wait to share them with you! :)
